It should not be difficult to edit ebooks properly, unless this is another example of outsourcing to third world countries.
I suggest that you send the details of the errors to toni cole at tony@ebookanoid.com. He is a member of MobileRead Forum, and also has a blog where he is trying to publicise typos in ebooks - as part of a Hall of Shame enterprise.
